Yes, it can:

New Features in 1.3.12
----------------------
* C++ namespace support *

SWIG-1.3.12 provides full support for C++ namespaces including all C++
namespace related declarations (using, namespace aliases, nested
namespaces, etc.).  Namespace support is fully integrated into the
type system, typemaps, customization features, and all other parts of
SWIG.

So that would certainly be preferable.
